About Groban
Standing as a rugged gateway to the Fisherfield Forest, this North West Highland Graham offers a wilder experience than its modest height suggests. It overlooks the southeastern end of Loch Maree, providing a rough, heather-clad ascent that rewards walkers with a unique perspective on the remote peaks of the Great Wilderness.

Did You Know?
- •The name is derived from the Gaelic 'An Groban', which translates as 'the rough little hill' or 'the notched one', a reference to the craggy, uneven character of its summit ridge.
- •It is most frequently approached from the south near Kinlochewe, though it forms part of the vast Letterewe Forest estate, one of the most remote and least-inhabited areas in the Scottish Highlands.
- •The summit provides an exceptional and less-traveled angle on the Torridon giants to the south, particularly the massive triple buttresses of Beinn Eighe and the spiked silhouette of Liathach.
- •While its height qualifies it as a Graham, the ruggedness of the local terrain ensures you will often exert the effort of a Munro while receiving significantly less recognition for your logbook.
